Upgrading an earlier cluster to this release is possible, simply by explicitly setting the IP address of each node at the command line. Alternatively, simply [backup your previous node](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/BACKUPS.md) and [restore it](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/RESTORE_FROM_SQLITE.md) into a new 8.0 cluster. **In any event, backing up your data is always recommended before any upgrade takes place.**

## 7.2.0 (February 1st 2022)
This release introduces supported for [DNS-based](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-dns/) and [DNS SRV -based](https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-srv-record/) autoclustering. rqlite can now lookup a DNS record for specified host, and use the network addresses returned to bootstrap the cluster. This can make it much easier to create rqlite clusters using the kinds of Service-Discovery mechanisms you find on Consul and Kubernetes, which are often based on DNS. See the [documentation](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/AUTO_CLUSTERING.md) for full details on using DNS-based autoclustering.
